2009 Porsche Boxster 2.9L Petrol · RO09 YMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection in April 2026 indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards following several years of clean records. While the car passed from 2022 through 2025 without any defects, the test at 40,031 miles flagged multiple failures and wear-related issues. This suggests that while the vehicle has been mechanically sound historically, recent upkeep of consumables and minor suspension components has been neglected. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 2,355 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns between 2022 and 2025, with the car covering only 1,702 miles over three years. However, the jump of 2,573 miles in the final year recorded indicates a slight increase in activity. Such low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which aligns with the faults identified in the 2026 test. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry, as the tester identified a worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. The fact that all four tyres were also flagged for being worn close to the legal limit with bald inner edges suggests a significant alignment issue or uneven wear caused by the worn bushing. Additionally, the identified coolant hose leak in the nearside front inner wheel arch requires immediate attention to prevent engine overheating. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for perished rubber hoses and brake calipers that often seize when vehicles sit stationary.
